You are absolutely right!

Out in the countryside, most older homes have wells drilled into the rock that produce fully filtered water. Here where I am, it is from the mains - and very drinkable it is too. There is good pressure also for that stinging shower in the morning.

There is a large lake nearby, but our Helsinki water comes fom further away - Lake Pajane http://www.satelliteviews.net/cgi-bin/w.cgi?c=fi&UF=-1380216&UN=-1984222&AF=H_P

Drinking water from the tap is so foreign to most Mexicans that they actually refer to "agua potable" as water that is clean enough to bathe in, not drink.

Can't say I drink a lot of water in the shower either. But I probably drink a couple of litres of tap water a day - teas, coffees and just plain water. I'm quite partal to Pellegrino when I want thirst quenching bubbles, but otherwise I'm happy to watch the waitress at our local lunch place fill the carafe under the water tap behind the bar.
